When Emma and all the rest left, I crouched and bawled my eyes out. I
couldn't believe it. My best friend had chosen lust over her best friend
ever. And what's more, she told me to burn in Hell. Frodo and Jandimara held
me close and rocked me back and forth. For all I knew, Jandimara was my best
friend now.
Later, when I was back at home, I just lay on my bed and cried. I cried so
hard, I had to rush to the bathroom to throw up. That little bitch never
wanted me as a best friend. My leg hurt so much where Emma had kicked me. I
lay back on my bed and began to cry again. I felt a familiar presence appear
out of thin air next to me. I knew without looking around that it was Mark's
spirit. He put a ghostly hand on my shoulder.
"Hey, Little Sister. What's the matter? You are crying so hard I can hear
you in Heaven."
I began to tell him everything. He looked shocked at the things I said about
Benny and Lucas. His two best friends. I bet he thought they would at least
help me. And he looked especially mad when I told him about Emma, betraying
me. He stayed for a little while longer before disappearing, promising to
scare the living bejesus out of his two former best friends.

When I finally came downstairs, I found Frodo, Jandimara, Stacey, Tracey,
Baz, and the rest of my family sitting around the table, looking miserable.
I wandered through to the lounge and saw Boromir holding a beer bottle in
his hand, drinking himself into oblivion. I went out the front door and sat
on the tyer swing, looking out into the distance. I heard a little sob from
behind the tree, I looked around and saw Wendy, sitting there, crying. I sat
next to her and put her in my lap.
"Colan's gone." She said and flung her arms around my neck. She began to cry
into my shoulder. I just held her. All the crying was out of me. Suddenly, I
got up, still holding the child, I led her to the tyer swing and put her on
it. Then I rushed to where Winsome stood, I saddled her and galloped away
toward Lothlorien. Only one person could help me now, and that was Lotti, my
aunt. I rode like the wind and in four hours, I had made it to the outskirts
of Rohan. Lotti, had run away when she was young, away from my mothers
parents. They had been deranged. She had run to Lorien, to get help from
elves. At least full elves could be trusted, not those ratty half elves. The
only half elves I trusted now, were Kivan and Ranger Silverblade. They were
Emma's brothers. They had never come to our school. I knew they lived in
Lorien as well. I could visit them.
Another four hours past and I got to Lothlorien. I got off my beautiful
horse and led her quietly towards the main part of the forest. There was a
bark behind me, I whirled around and found that Frodo had followed me,
bringing Casper and Starlet and my little girl with him. I smiled.
"What are you doing here?" I asked, and Frodo smiled, handing Ria over to
me.
"I couldn't let you go alone. I knew you were going somewhere because Wendy
came and tattled." He smiled again. "I know what happened yesterday was
terrible, and it shouldn't have happened. Why did you come to Lorien?"
"I came to see my aunt and two old friends, who I know for sure won't betray
me."
"Who are you and what is your business in Lorien?" came a voice. I turned. I
saw a blonde elf. I held my little girl.
"I am Jamita Olesse Baggins. I came to see my aunt, Lotti Drefail."
"And I am Dergon, guard of Lorien. I will take you to Lotti myself, she is
very well known in Lorien."
"Thank you, Dergon."
Dergon led the way to Lotti's house in the trees. She hugged me when she saw
me.
"Jamie! How good of you to visit. Why are you here?"
I told her of everything that had come to pass during the last two days.
Lotti looked shocked, then sad, then angry. "I think we should call Kivan
and Ranger, what do you think, I don't think that they will be to pleased
with their little sister."
I nodded. Lotti went out to the stair well that lead back down to the
ground. She let a shrill whistle pass through her fingers and in five
minutes, both Kivan and Ranger had sped up the stairs. They saw me and
grinned.
"Jamie! How good to see you again." They both gave me a hug and listened
over a cup of coffee at what their little sister had done. I swear, I have
never seen either of them look so angry, shocked or bewildered. I told of
my brother's ghost telling me what he would do.
Ranger spoke up after a while. "Well, we can't really do anything. For one
thing, we don't know where she's gone and for another, if she doesn't like
you anymore, who says she'll like her own family. I know dad was an asshole,
but that's beyond the point. I never really like Damon or his family. They
always were no hopers."
Kivan agreed. "There is nothing we can do. Maybe she'll come around in time.
But who knows. She can hate people for years on end. Billee and this
Legolas, I don't know about."
I pulled out the photo album I had in the saddle bag. I looked at all the
photos of us all, including the year twelve class photo. I sighed. When I
came to the photo of Billee, Me, Emma and Elrond all together, I couldn't
help but cry.
